Fixed a minor issue which arose with the way that some cameras store GPS information. Fixed a couple of minor misspellings in German. Fixed a serious problem that arose with Firefox 13.0beta and later, in which the Viewer window would only be displayed once per session and would not re-open.

Verified that the Viewer works with FF 8 and 9, re-enabled some code to handle window layout problems under FF 10. Fixed a minor directory problem under Linux and a minor formatting issue for the Microsoft Comment field. Fixed the handling of the Nikon Maker Notes. Add the Exposure Bias (EV) to the basic information list. Added a Japanese translation, code to handle the Sanyo Maker Note, and some additional tags for Exif 2.3, TIFF for some photo retouch software, and Print Image Matching (PIM), all courtesy of Tatsuyoshi Toyota.

Added the ability to extract and display the JPEG Comment (COM) field, as per a user request. Modified the IPTC code to recognize the UTF-8 character code and process the text accordingly. Fixed several minor display problems, including a couple that only manifested in Firefox 4. Verified that the Viewer works properly in the Firefox 4 Beta 11.

Added some non-standard EXIF tags, as per user requests. Added the ability to persistently hide or show the controls at the top of the window. Added simplified Chinese localization, courtesy of Magicnight@gmail.com. Fixed a minor problem with the generation of the KML file for images with embedded GPS information, as well as an error with the processing of Casio maker notes. Added a minor enhancement for the display of GPS latitude and longitude. Added the option of displaying the EXIF tag ID numbers. Added my homepage URL. Made a minor modification to the control layout to allow for a narrower window, based on a user comment. Added separate local and remote History entries to the File menu. Fixed a bug when resizing the window in FF 3.x. Added Czech localization, courtesy of Pavel Mrázek.

1.51:Augmented the Nikon maker note information, as per a user request. Reorganized the code’s global variables and functions so as to minimize the possibility of namespace conflicts, as per an AMO reviewer request.

1.50:Reformatted the displayed F-stop and aperture values, as per a user request. Added the ability to format the output as tables rather than lists. Added German localization, courtesy of MAVE@freakmail.de. Fixed a bug that prevented images from being saved after their EXIF data was displayed, and another involving the Nikon maker note. Fixed a Thunderbird issue in which the Exif Viewer menu items were not being displayed with the single-message popup window. Verified that the Viewer works with Firefox 3.5 Beta 4.

Fixed minor bugs involving the suppression of trailing zeros and the display of some parts of the IPTC Core lists, as well as a couple of other minor issues. Added the ability to launch Google™ Earth if GPS information is included in the EXIF data, with the option of saving the information to a KML file.

Modified the Viewer to handle the change in behaviour in the beta versions of FF 3.0 in which long strings without breaking spaces were causing the width of the output area to increase indefinitely, rather than leaving the width as is and displaying a scroll bar; also fixed a problem with expanding and collapsing the IPTC Core lists caused by a change in the tagnames for HTML elements. Verified that everything still works in beta 4.

Fixed a few minor user-reported bugs. Added a quick&dirty way to view rotated versions of JPEGs, using the non-standard CANVAS element. Cleaned up the display of rational numbers, to suppress trailing zeroes. Determined that the Viewer’s user interface is broken significantly by Firefox version 3 beta 1 and even more so by beta 2.

Fixed four minor, user-reported bugs; added menu hot-keys; added the ability to increase/decrease the text size for the displayed Exif information; made thetext size, as well as the window size and position, persistent; completed the localization of the user interface (menu and main window) and added a draft French version; localized most of the Exif information (except for the Maker Notes); added the ability to directly open the Error/JavaScript Console and to copy the text of any error messages to the clipboard; added the Release Notes; extended the Viewer to also display the IPTC metadata (IIM v4.1) when stored in the APP13 block; added Home/End/PageUp/PageDown navigation.

Added partial support for Thunderbird. Now you can open the Viewer from the Tools menu as well as view the Exif data for links in messages; viewing the data for JPEG attachments (mailbox://...) will take a bit longer to add.

Now can handle remote JPEGs via an input URL. Menu items were added to the browser context menu, making it easier to invoke the Viewer for images and links to images on web pages. User interface cleaned up.
